We have a variety of courses coming up in the 'off season' within the North East. A great opportunity for CPD
Young Person Activator - North East

Course Information
To provide young people (aged 14-17) with the opportunity to gain the skills and confidence to lead and assist in the delivery of triathlon sessions and grow participation in their local club, school, or community group.
Young Activators will develop the skills to:
- Assist a coach with the set up and running of club activities.
